Some live streaming platforms require users to log in before watching a stream. For such platforms, you need to manually configure cookies in the software in order to record properly. Here are the steps:
How to Get Cookies
- Use your browser to log in to the live streaming platform you want to record;
- Right-click on a blank area of the page and select "Inspect" or "Inspect Element" to open the developer tools;
- Refresh the page (this step is very important to ensure you get the latest cookies);
- Click the "Network" tab at the top;
- Select the first request in the left-side list;
- Switch to the "Headers" tab;
- In the "Request Headers" section, locate the "Cookie" field;
- Right-click and copy the entire content after "Cookie:".
Configure Cookies
Paste the copied cookie into the platform configuration (Path: Preferences > Advanced > Site Config) in the following format:
[domain]
Cookie = 'your copied cookie content'- Replace “domain” with the actual domain name of the platform, such as [tiktok], [sooplive], etc.
- Replace “your copied cookie content” with the cookie string you copied in the previous step.
- You can configure cookies for multiple platforms by pasting them one after another.
